Summary/Abstract: Translation of zoological terms occurring in the biblical texts, from Hebrew or Greek into Polish, may cause difficulties to translators. The aim of this paper is to show what a translator of biblical books should pay attention to, in order to remain faithful to the intentions of the inspired author and to a contemporary knowledge about the fauna of the Holy Land.
